The Yamuna Network is a nonprofit coalition of like-minded organizations and individuals whose sole purpose is to stop Yamuna River’s waters from being diverted and prevent industrial and municipal waste from entering her waters, restoring the river to her past glory.

The Yamuna River, one of the greatest rivers on the planet, is rich in history and culture and has provided nourishment to the people residing near her banks for thousands of years. Now the Yamuna is in dire need of help: The United Nations has declared the river downstream of New Delhi to be officially “dead.”
